Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is still spreading throughout the world along with its strange and frightening mutations, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it as a global pandemic., Objective: The present investigation aims to evaluate the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on mother and newborn outcomes and the vertical transmission potential of this virus., Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care dedicated COVID-19 hospital. A total of 40 pregnant females (RT-PCR positive for SARS-CoV-2) and their 41 neonates (including stillbirths and a twin delivery) were included in the present study., Results: All the mothers in the study were SARS-CoV-2 positive on the RT-PCR test, but none had any COVID-19 symptoms (pneumonia-like fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, shortness of breath, and diarrhea). Out of 41 newborns, 38 (92.7%) were healthy, one (2.4%) was a stillbirth, and two newborns (4.9%) could not be revived. All the 41 (100.0%) neonates, including stillborn and preterm were negative for the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test. Twenty-Six neonates (63.4%) were delivered by caesarean section, whereas 15 cases (36.6%) had a normal vaginal delivery., Conclusion: The present study showed no suggestion of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant females. Therefore, the placenta might function as a barrier to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Also, there were no complications come upon during the delivery of any neonate in the present study., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2021 Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care.)

Abstract

We present the clinicopathologic conference of a 34-year-old lady with history of facial palsy 14 years ago who developed new deficits of mononeuritis multiplex, maculopapular rash, pancytopenia, splenomegaly, lung involvement and cognitive decline rapidly over three years. Investigations revealed pancytopenia, reversal of albumin globulin ratio, mediastinal adenopathy, ANA positivity, low C3 levels with the CSF being inflammatory and MRI showing extensive hemorrhagic lesions with mass effect. She had a rapidly progressive fatal course over three years with the disease being undiagnosed. This case was presented in the annual meeting of the Indian Academy of Neurology in September 2018., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2006 - 2019 Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology.)

Abstract

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare aggressive intrathoracic tumor which is believed to originate from embryonic uncommitted lung mesenchymal cells, which are important for developing the lung. Type I PPB is cystic, type II is cystic and solid, while type III is predominantly solid. Diagnosing type 1 PPB is a challenge for both radiologists as well as pathologists. Owing to its purely cystic nature, type I PPB it is often mistaken for unrelated entities such as congenital pulmonary airway malformation and congenital lobar emphysema which delays surgical intervention. Here, we report two such cases presenting clinically and radiologically as congenital pulmonary airway malformation. On histology, a final diagnosis of type I pleuropulmonay blastoma was made. Thereafter, chemotherapy was administered following complete surgical excision.
